Is time the fourth dimension?

Gre4nikov [31]

True

in physics the dimensions of space are:
1. Height
2. Width
3. Depth
4. Time
5. Kaluza - this is the combination of gravity and electromagnetism
6.-10. Other theories
11. The M-theory.

As the current studies suggest, the theory of everything or M-theory claims that there are currently 11 dimensions in the universe, unique for each world and that our word is but the complexities of strings.

In a system with only a single force acting upon a body, what is the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the w

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: W.D = 1/2mv^2

Explanation:

If an external force or a single force is acting on a body. Just like the first law of thermodynamics, the force acting on the body will cause work done on the system.

Work done = force × distance

And the work done on the body will cause the molecules of the body to experience motion and thereby producing kinetic energy.

The work done will be converted to kinetic energy.

W.D = 1/2mv^2

Complete Question

An electron is accelerated by a 5.9 kV potential difference. das (sd38882) – Homework #9 – yu – (44120) 3 The charge on an electron is 1.60218 × 10−19 C and its mass is 9.10939 × 10−31 kg. How strong a magnetic field must be experienced by the electron if its path is a circle of radius 5.4 cm?

Answer:

The magnetic field strength is $B= 0.0048 T$

Explanation:

The work done by the potential difference on the electron is related to the kinetic energy of the electron by this mathematical expression

$\Delta V q = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Making v the subject

$v = \sqrt{[\frac{2 \Delta V * q }{m}] }$

Where m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity of electron

q charge on electron

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

Substituting values

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 5.9 *10^3 * 1.60218*10^{-19} }{9.10939 *10^{-31]} }$ f

$= 4.5556 *10^ {7} m/s$

For the electron to move in a circular path the magnetic force[ $F = B q v$ ] must be equal to the centripetal force[ $\frac{mv^2}{r}$ ] and this is mathematically represented as
